Full screen cinema, baby!
A button editor allows you to customise this further, allowing for example you to add previously ‘hidden’ buttons such as Play Around and Loop. Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 also lets you put either the Program Monitor or the Source Monitor into full-screen cinema mode on your system’s primary display with a key press. Other enhancements include a newly revamped Time Ruler bar in the the Source Monitor, Program Monitor, and Timeline panels and new properties and functionality for markers. The Audio editor has also been redesigned and indeed improved, with greater control and more accurate feedback of audio signal levels. It’s also capable of being resized.

Project Panel & Media Browser
The Project panel has also had a makeover. You can display resizable 16:9 thumbnails of your clips, with new icons on the lower right corner that display whether the clips contain video or audio components. Imported After Effects project files are also supported. More information about the clips can now be viewed simply by mousing over them, while clicking them will display the sequence they are used in.

Scrubbing controls in Premiere Pro CS6
Another useful trick is that you can use traditional J,K,L key shortcuts to control scrubbing or just use the cursor to move the playhead, so cutting out the need to open a clip in the Source Monitor. You can also mark in and out points, just by clicking I and O after positioning the playhead on the clips in the Project panel. In this fashion, should you so wish, you can assemble a rough cut without ever once opening a clip in the Source Monitor.
In a similar fashion you can resize the thumbnails in the Media Browser tab and again use J,K,L and spacebar navigation before setting edit points. It’s also simple to drag clips from the Media Browser and import them into a newly spring-loaded tab of the Project panel.

In for a trim
Trimming where the edit point occurs in the clip has been streamlined. Rather than using the separate Trim Monitor, a live Trim mode is available within the Program Monitor panel. When in Trim mode, this switches to a simplified two-up display with controls for trimming and Out Shift and In Shift counters for keeping track of trimmed frames.Keyboard shortcuts are also available to apply trimming on the Timeline.

To test the application of effects during the review we began by dragging and dropping them onto clips as usual, but there’s now an easier way. Just select the clip or clips in the timeline and then double-click on an effect in the Effects Panel- the effect is instantly applied to the selected clips.
Another way of applying effects quickly is to use Adjustment Layers, just as in Photoshop and After Effects. There are a number of ways of creating an Adjustment Layer, such as clicking New Item in the Project panel. Once created, you need to drag it onto a track above the selected clips. Now all you need to do is select the Adjustment Layer in the timeline, go to the Effects panel and double click on an effect to apply it to all the selected clips. You can add as many effects as you want to the Adjustment Layer, or resize it to only affect a portion of the clips.

Banish uneven footage in Premiere Pro CS6

There are new effects for dealing with uneven footage, both of which are now to be found in the new release of After Effects CS6 as well. Introduced in AE CS5.5, Warp Stabiliser eliminates unwanted camera movement by steadying shaky footage, intended to make handheld footage appear as smooth as a camera mounted on a mechanical dolly.
We had to let Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 analyse our test clip first, but could continue working while it did so. When it was done, it had indeed stabilised the clip and the result wasn’t bad, though there was some cropping of the frame. If the footage is particularly bumpy a warning will suggest you adjust settings to ‘Stabilize Only’, because under the default setting the cropping would be too extreme. Even then some footage is beyond repair.
